Night falls, outside Huaizhou City, Jia Family Manor.
Jia Dagui was wearing gold armor and holding a nine-ring sword. He looked seriously at the five thousand fully armed soldiers in front of him.
"I, the Jia family, are descendants of the generals, and my ancestors were the founding generals of the previous dynasty. If Da Qian had not conquered the world, I, Jia, would not have been reduced to a lowly businessman."
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Whether we can rebuild the glory of our Jia family depends on today! Come with me into Huaizhou City and kill Yang Xun!"
After Jia Dagui finished speaking, he got on his horse and rushed out of the Jia family manor at the lead, followed closely by the five thousand dead soldiers behind him.
But as soon as he left the manor, Jia Dagui saw a man and a horse riding not far away slowly approaching them.
Jia Dagui took a closer look and found that this person was the fierce general beside Yang Xun, Xue Rengui, who was holding a Fangtian painted halberd!
"Jia Dagui, the prince has long expected that you are going to rebel, why don't you get off your horse and die!"
Xue Rengui's loud voice came, startling Jia Dagui's horse and retreating continuously. Jia Dagui finally calmed it down.
A ruthless look flashed in Jia Dagui's eyes, and he said coldly: "Xue Rengui, I know you are very powerful, but do you think you can stop me with just one person and one horse?"
Xue Rengui said no more, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and galloped towards Jia Dagui.
With Xue Rengui's charge, the whole earth began to tremble. Only then did Jia Dagui realize that Xue Rengui was riding alone. The dark area behind him was full of Xuanjia troops. However, the night was too dark, so he did not immediately Just see clearly.
Hearing the loud shouts of killing, Jia Dagui could not help but feel a little frightened. Yang Xun had been prepared for this. Could someone have betrayed him?
Is it Ma Youzhong or Wang Bo?
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Although Xue Rengui brought the Xuanjia Army, it was visually estimated that the number would not be too large. The 5,000 soldiers behind him were also cavalry, and each of them was as good as one as ten, so they might not be able to defeat Xue Rengui's Xuanjia Army!
It was impossible to kill Yang Xun. At worst, he would break out of the siege and leave Huaizhou.
Most of his money is stored in the bank, and he carries the bills with him. As long as he has money, he can be happy wherever he goes!
Thinking of this, Jia Dagui immediately raised the sword in his hand and shouted "Kill!"
For a moment, the five thousand soldiers behind him rushed out without hesitation and collided with the Xuanjia army...
At the gate of Huaizhou City, Ma Youzhong was pacing back and forth anxiously. Next to him stood a Qingzhou Army Qianhu, looking at him with amusement.
"Why aren't you here? Has the plan changed?" Ma Youzhong murmured.
An hour had passed since the agreed time, but Jia Dagui and his dead men were still missing. It would be dawn in another hour.
"Master Ma, will the person you mentioned come come? If not, I will go back to sleep." Qianhu said with a yawn.
Ma Youzhong immediately took out another gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Qianhu's hand, and said, "Brother, please wait a moment, they are definitely coming."
Qianhu took the gold ingot, weighed it casually, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll use more force when I chop you later."
"Brother, what did you say?" Ma Youzhong was stunned. Did he hear it wrong?
"No...I told you to use more force when I open the city gate later." Qianhu quickly explained with a smile, looking at Ma Youzhong as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Oh." Ma Youzhong didn't doubt that he was there. He just thought that he heard wrongly and continued to look in the direction of Jia's manor.
"Master Ma is not sleeping so late. Could it be that he is waiting for me?"
At this moment, a voice sounded behind Ma Youzhong, and Ma Youzhong's hair stood up immediately.
Looking back, I saw Yang Xun riding a tall horse slowly towards the city gate, followed by a group of Xuanjia Army, and behind each Xuanjia Army's horse was dragging a haggard-looking man.
Although these people looked miserable, they were luxuriously dressed. They were the merchants of Huaizhou City, and Wang Bo was among them.
Ma Youzhong's heart suddenly thumped. The secret passage was broken. He turned around and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Qianhu.
"Master Ma, the person you are waiting for has not arrived yet. Where are you going?" Qianhu asked with a smile.
"Brother, I can't wait any longer. Let me go!" Ma Youzhong said quickly, and took out another gold ingot and stuffed it into Qianhu.
I thought Qianhu would let him go for the sake of Jin Yuanbao, but after Qianhu took the Jin Yuanbao, he directly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Master Ma, if you want to leave, you can't. I advise you to go back and wait for the prince to be punished!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Youzhong was so angry that he couldn't stop me even after taking my money. How could you do this?
"You...you are not trustworthy!"
"Why don't I keep my word? I didn't promise to let you go. It was you who forced the ingot into my hand."
"I don't care, get out of the way!" Ma Youzhong didn't care anymore and struggled to run away. If Yang Xun arrived, he would be dead!
"According to the order of the prince, capture the rebels!" Qianhu shouted and struck Ma Youzhong in the leg with a knife.
"ah--"
With an earth-shattering scream, Ma Youzhong's right leg was cut off directly, and blood flowed all over the floor instantly.
Ma Youzhong fell to the ground, holding his broken leg and screaming, looking at Qianhu with eyes full of hatred.
Only then did he realize that Qianhu had been deliberately playing tricks on him from the beginning. His talk about opening the city gate and following his lead were all lies!
Qianhu put away his sword, trotted to Yang Xun's side, presented two gold ingots and said, "Your Majesty, these are the ingots that Ma Youzhong bribed his subordinates today."
"Save it to buy wine for the brothers!" Yang Xun said, jumped off the horse and strode to Ma Youzhong.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Master Ma, does it hurt?"
God, does it hurt? If my leg is cut off, do you think it hurts?
Ma Youzhong wants to kill Yang Xun. Listen, are these questions human?
"Since I came to Huaizhou City, I haven't felt sorry for you, right? Why did you betray me?" Yang Xun asked expressionlessly.
In fact, Yang Xun wanted Ma Youzhong to continue to serve as the governor of Huaizhou at the beginning. After all, Ma Youzhong knew Huaizhou better than Yang Xun and Changsun Wuji, and he could do many things more easily.
But after such a long time, the zero on Ma Youzhong's head has not changed, and he is simply rebellious.
Therefore, Yang Xun had to alienate him and train Changsun Wuji to be the governor of Huaizhou.
As a result, Ma Youzhong couldn't sit still and actually joined forces with Jia Dagui to murder Yang Xun.
"Yang Xun, stop talking nonsense and give me a good time if you have the guts!" Ma Youzhong said harshly.
He knew that he was going to die today, so he didn't beg for mercy, he just wanted to die easily.
Yang Xun smiled slightly: "You want to have fun? I won't give it to you! Someone, bring me some salt!"
